Copied and pasted from your post on page 6. In case you forgot.

"There were better players on the board than him."


You may have an opinion that there were more safe players or better players on the board but that is not a fact. Fact is that you're not qualified to make that judgement in comparison to the Flyers scouting staff. None of us are.

- MJL


I didn't say anything about denying what you quoted me as saying. Posted that quote of mine because you said I wanted a safe pick. You left out the rest of the sentence that says "have the same potential or more that are further along in their development"

Keep spinning MJL. Leaving out the rest of a sentence. Weak.

You don't have to be a scout to know who's further along in their development than another player.

Ek will definitely be right for a change. But then again, a 6 year old old could predict that.

Bobby "the brain" Brink and Rowdy Roddy Ross.

I think I see the Flyers draft strategy. The Flyers assistant GM Rick Flahr is a wresting fan.

Post of the year.

Shut it down, folks!

No collusion

Seriously tho, it would be interesting if Bill could shed any light on this. Especially since it's happened with two Flyers GMs now.

Four of the seven drafted players names first name and last name start with the same letter: Bobby Brink, Mason Millman, Roddy Ross, and Bryce Brodzinsky. Weird.

If they had taken Cole Caufield it would have been 5 of 7.

There is no spinning on my part. I'm simply exposing you and using your own comments. Like I said, you can have an opinion on a player but you don't have the qualifications of an NHL scout nor have you spent as much time scouting players as the Flyers scouting department have. No spin needed on that. Calling people enablers of mediocrity and making statements like "there were clearly better players available'. Telling people they have reading comprehension issues. There is no spin needed there. I'm posting your exact comments.

There are still other comments you've made that really show a lack of insight into drafting and the philosophy that teams have, that we can look at next.

Every time I watch a game lately Harper is getting thrown out for trying to take an extra base he no reason to try and take.

Oh and the bullpen is a tire fire.

Mars company is investing heavily in Comcast to capture the 5G market. They will be silent partners but did have some say in the drafting of players

Well our top 2 D prospects are an undrafted kid and a 7th rounder (Kalnyuk was a 7th rounder right?)

What exactly are you exposing? Lol. I never said I was a scout, I've never denied anything you quoted me as saying. But you were sneaky and left out the rest of a sentence.
You have no idea about these prospects, you said so. I follow prospects all year and watch a lot of them live all season. Just because you have no idea what you're talking about doesn't mean others have no clue.

I think you're a little butthurt still from me calling out your complete hypocrisy. Remember this" lets not pretend that you have more information then they do or know players better than they do. You don't" - MJL That was pure gold coming from you.

I've been on this site a very long time and have been subject to a lot of your comments. You spin all the time, lie and deflect. From time to time your name comes up on other boards and you get destroyed. But you carry on thinking you know everything about hockey.
